Salida Theater Project Presents Baby with the Bathwater by Christopher Durang

  • A Church 419 D Street Salida, CO, 81201 United States (map)

As the play begins Helen and Joe gaze proudly at their new offspring, too polite to check its sex and a bit disappointed that it doesn't speak English. So they decide that the child is a girl and name it Daisy--which leads to all manner of future emotional and personality problems when it turns out that Daisy is actually a boy. Thereafter, in a series of brilliantly theatrical and wildly hilarious scenes, the saga of Daisy's struggle to establish his identity continues, despite his parents' growing obliviousness. At the outset there is a zanny nanny who gives him a lethal toy to play with, then the  small problem of Daisy's penchant, as a toddler, for throwing himself in front of buses; then his bizarre problems in school; and finally , the sessions with this analyst which enable hime, at last, tho accept his maleness and sop wearing dresses. In the end the play comes full circle as the former Daisy and his young bride fondly regard their own baby-forgiving of the past but determined not repeat its calamitous mistakes.
